Cooper’s Hill Cheese Rolling winners: previous champions and records

Welcome to the wonderfully wobbly roll call of Cooper’s Hill Cheese Rolling winners. Every Spring Bank Holiday, brave — or possibly slightly bonkers — runners fling themselves down Cooper’s Hill near Brockworth chasing a wheel of Double Gloucester. The cheese gets a head start. Gravity does the rest.

This page collects the recorded winners across the downhill and uphill races, including men’s, women’s, children’s and mixed categories where the records are available. It is intended as a living table that Cheltenham Times can update after each year’s event.

Cooper’s Hill Cheese Rolling winners table

The current table covers 1948 to 2025. Older entries can be patchy, race categories have changed over time, and some years were cancelled or unofficial, so the notes column matters. If the record says “unknown”, “no race” or “unconfirmed”, we have left that visible rather than pretending the cheese-rolling archive is tidier than it really is.

How we checked the winners

This is a best-effort public-source check. The table is based on the public Cooper’s Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake winners table, which cites Jean Jefferies’ Cheese Rolling in Gloucestershire for many historic results, archived cheese-rolling.co.uk roll-of-honour pages, BBC News, Gloucestershire Live, The Guardian and other news reports for later years.

On the latest check, Hermes found 72 reachable cited source URLs out of 80 tested from 84 source URLs listed in the results section. Some older sources are archived, moved, paywalled or no longer online, so the page keeps visible caveats rather than overclaiming certainty.

If you spot a missing winner, a spelling correction or an old programme/result sheet hiding in a drawer, send it to Cheltenham Times and we can update the table.

Annual update workflow

  • Before the event: publish a fun practical preview — when it is, where it is, how to watch safely, and what makes Cooper’s Hill famous.
  • Before the event: publish a records/history post using this winners page as the main internal link.
  • After the event: add the new winners to this table, update the source-check note, and publish a short results post.

Last source check prepared for Cheltenham Times on 21 May 2026.
